At 238g (size S) this is the lightest of all the softshells on test thanks to the thin Schoeller stretch-woven fabric and the lack of "bells and whistles" features; weight conscious mountaineers might be particularly keen on this. To resolve your query efficiently we use a claim form and case / ticket system, complete the form, add all the details required, and we'll get straight on to sorting it out. But the fabric and features come with a weight penalty, something we have to consider a drawback in this particular review. In size M (which, as we've said, is more like a standard L) the Psiphon FL Hoody is just 337g, so it's a real lightweight contender.

The fit at the waist is fine tuned with toggles, and the tails of the elastic are separate rather than a closed loop, so you can't snag them by mistake.Functional articulation is built into the hood and sleeves, and gusseted underarms extend range of motion.

Updated with Chameleon3 fabric, the Dyno Stretch Jacket delivers wind resistance, wicks hard, dries fast and features a four way stretch.The ROM has a non-helmet-compatible hood, an outside chest pocket, an inside chest pocket and two hand warmer pockets which remain reasonably accessible with a harness or rucksack waist-belt on. The DWR treatment is good throughout (and has so far survived a couple of washes), making the Psiphon FL a decent bet in on-off drizzly conditions (remember those? Montane has become synonymous with lightweight and breathable clothing and equipment not only for outdoor sports. The advantages of a softshell are obvious; stretch for active comfort, less rustle than a hard shell, warmth without weight and weather protection. But if you're after some versatile lightweight insulation for more year-round use then the Aenergy IN Hybrid Jacket would be worth a look.

We try our best to identify any issues like this and make you aware of them in the product description prior to purchase. The fit in general is very spacious, with bags of room in the body and arms for layering over other things; in this regard the Fast Climb is one of the more winter-worthy of the softshells on test. Two different fabrics are used: an 86% nylon / 14% spandex 90D stretch woven ripstop material in the body and hood, and a 91% nylon / 9% spandex mix of 120D stretch woven Cordura in the shoulders and lower sleeves.Mountain Run: These garments are designed for mountain running and are tailored to be closely form fitting.

Volume adjustment is very effective, pulling the fit in nice and close; the toggles are hidden away on the inside of the hem, while the elastic tails pass up into the hand pockets to keep them out of the way. Perhaps this is justified when considering that this isn't just a wind shirt - it's a whole lot more; however it doesn't earn the Dyno Stretch Hoody plaudits in a summer softshell review! This product as a whole or the individual materials within this product have the following certification(s). It's lightweight, breathable for active use and feels very comfortable on the skin, so you can pop it on over most base/mid layers. Hem length is slightly more generous than some, sitting just below the waist to offer a good protective overlap with your trousers.With its cavernous helmet compatible hood, offset front zip and minimalist single pocket design the Squall is truly at home in any climbing situation. Alpine Wool' is Mammut's own blend of 88% wool and 12% polyester, and in our experience the synthetic element makes it faster drying than we might have expected from a pure wool fill. Once we have received your item(s), we will inspect them and usually process a refund within 2 working days. Hem length is a tad longer than average, sitting comfortably below the waist and dropping a little further at the rear for extra bum coverage. Rab have chosen their single weave Matrix fabric for the Borealis which provides excellent durability, wind protection and stretch.
